Lukarrara

This Dreaming is associated with a place called Jaralypari, north of Yuendumu. 'Lukarrara' is a grass with an edible seed. The seeds are traditionally ground on a large stone with a smaller stone to make flour. The flour is then mixed with water to make damper cakes which are cooked in the coals of the fire and eaten.
